Hardy Cotton-Munching Pests Are Latest Blow to GM Crops

Pallava Bagla
Monsanto has revealed that a common insect pest has developed resistance to its flagship genetically modified (GM) product in India. The agricultural biotechnology leader says it "detected unusual survival" of pink bollworms that fed on cotton containing the Cry1Ac gene from the bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis, which codes for a protein that's toxic to many insect pests.

Facts You Must Know…
By Jeffrey M. Smith
The biotech industry is fond of saying that they offer genetically modified (GM) crops that resist pests, conjuring up the image of insects staying away from GM crop fields.
But "resisting pests" is just a euphemism, for "contains its own built-in pesticide." When bugs take a bite of the GM plant, the toxin splits open their stomach and kills them!
The idea that we consume that same toxic pesticide in every bite is hardly appetizing!
But the biotech companies and the Environmental Protection Agency-which regulates plant produced pesticides-tell us not to worry. Posted by Administrator on April 8, 2010 at 8:45 PM under

If you are craving something sweet, your best bet is to reach for an apple or a pear. And if you give yourself a sugar holiday for even a couple of weeks, you will be amazed at how much those cravings will decrease. But be sure and count the grams of fructose and keep your total fructose from fruit below 15 grams per day as you are sure to consume plenty of "hidden" fructose in the other foods you will be eating.
You can use the table below to help you count your fructose grams. Posted by Dr. Mercola on March 30, 2010 at 10:01 PM under

Many people interested in staying healthy have switched to agave as a safer "natural" sweetener. They want to avoid well documented dangerous sweeteners like HFCS (high fructose corn syrup) but are unaware that agave is actually WORSE than HFCS.
So just what is agave?
Blue agave is an exotic plant growing in the rich volcanic soil of Mexico under a hot tropical sun, boasting a stately flower stem that blooms only once in its lifetime.

Genetically engineered cows could be slaughtered by AgResearch if an application to create more animals with the aim of producing a medicinal super-milk is rejected.
Hearings will begin on Monday into the Crown research institute's application to mix the makeup of cows, sheep and goats with human DNA, and the outcome could have implications for up to 200 cows the agency has already created.
